Planting new life into Southeast San Diego
Set approximately 10 miles southeast from the heart of San Diego, Paradise Hills is a well-established community-in-progress. "The neighborhood has been here since the 1950s," says Derek Barksdale, Chula Vista-based Realtor with Military Mutual. "It's been a positive thing that younger people, some of whom are inheriting these homes, are moving in and renovating houses that looked like they were on their last legs before." Not only are they improving their new properties, but their shared landscape. In 2017, a group of locals formed Paradise Gardeners, launching their Native Garden (previously a covered landfill) at the community park. Plans for this community project include rustic log benches, a pollinator area and an ethnobotany garden that will educate visitors about the indigenous Kumeyaay Nation that lived in and traveled through the area long ago.
Paradise Hill's native garden is a beautiful place to stroll and take in the native Poppies.
Paradise Hills Recreation Center features a playground and basketball court.

Unexpected ocean views
Living up to its name, homes here are perched on rolling hills that offer residents views of the Pacific Ocean. It’s common to find cottages, ranch-style homes and two-story Spanish and Mediterranean Revivals with stucco exteriors, some featuring stone walkways and arched windows. Older homes were built between the 1950s and ‘80s, all densely packed together with low-water plantings. Prices range from around $550,000 for a cozy two-bedroom fixer-upper to over $800,000 for a spacious four-bedroom home ready for move-in. Homes built in the 2000s along Tonawanda and Alta View Drive offer four bedrooms, typically going for between $850,000 and $900,000.
